JDBC Support
In addition to the standard DBMS capabilities that COOL:Gen applications have always provided, the implementation of JDBC within the Java Web Generation feature provides the ability to access multiple databases simultaneously from one procedure step/action block. COOL:Gen will manage the rollbacks and commits across each of the connections. This enhancement does come with some restrictions; the most significant is that the action diagram logic may not perform any operation that would result in a 'join' between two tables in different databases. Likewise, there should be no relationships between tables that will reside in different databases. The separate databases may reside on different DBMS's if desired.
Hebrew Support
The Hebrew language has been certified on COOL:Gen 6.0 for Windows NT/2000. Certification on Windows 98 will be forthcoming when Microsoft issues a fix that is needed on the Windows 98 operating system.
Unicode Support
Limited Unicode support is now available to allow multiple languages to be stored on and accessed from a single database. Data entry may be performed using terminals that have different code pages. When the server load module's code page is set to UTF8 (code page ID 1201), the data will be translated from any client code page to UTF8 and managed on the server. Data sent back to a client will be translated to the client code page. Therefore, a client may always display data entered in their code page. Generated Java clients must be modified to support Unicode. Specifically, the system property file.encoding must be set to UTF-8 before any call to the server. With these modifications, the Java Proxy can retrieve (and update) records from a server using UTF8 and display (and enter) that data on a Unicode enabled Internet browser (like Netscape or Internet Explorer).
Component Manager
The Component Manager allows a user to browse component specifications and to transfer those component specifications between COOL:Gen Encyclopedias. It also supports assembly of existing components into new applications. When the user drags and drops a component specification from a Data Source onto another Data Source all required related objects will be transferred at the same time. That is, Gen-to-Gen drag-and-drop object types will be model, interface, and operation. With prior releases, the Component Manager was a separate product. With this eBusiness Edition, Component Manager has been merged into COOL:Gen and supports the COOL:Gen 6.0 Meta Model (9.0.A2). The Component Manager is available only on the Microsoft operating systems.
NOTE: The COOL:Gen 6.0 eBusiness Edition release contains a modification to the internal runtime behavior of asynchronous cooperative flows. Due to the nature of these changes if an application is using the COOL:Gen action statement "USE Async" with response handling modifier of "No Response" then both the client side and the target server side runtimes must be at the same release level. Either both at COOL:Gen 6.0 or both at COOL:Gen 6.0 eBusiness Edition. If both client and server runtimes are not at the same release level the No Response form of USE Async statement will not be processed properly. MVS Users Only - The asynchronous flow type of "No Response" for CICS and IMS servers participating in client/server flows (NOT server-to-server flows) is being delivered in PTF format. PTF GEM6001 (CA APAR LO92748) is required for Host Construction and MVS Implementation Toolset while PTF RTM6005 (CA APAR unknown) is required for Runtime. As a result of applying these PTFs any CICS and IMS servers wanting to implement the modified asynchronous flow type of "No Response" require re-generation and re-installation.

PTFs
This eBusiness Edition is an update for COOL:Gen 6.0 products on Windows and some UNIX platforms and must be installed on top of an existing COOL:Gen 6.0 installation. This eBusiness Edition supersedes all Windows and Unix (except Sequent) platform PTFs distributed prior to its release. Installation of this eBusiness Edition will be a prerequisite for any subsequent PTFs to COOL:Gen 6.0 Windows and Unix (except Sequent) products as of April 30th, 2001.
